Meeting - 12-07-10

Small meeting today.  Judy was not feeling good, Barbara had car problems, LoRee went to see the Rockets.  I didn't hear from Diohne or Glory but assume they were baking cookies for next week.
Connie furnished the prompts.  They were excellent and based on Christmas.

Connie wrote on A Christmas that almost didn't come.  Excellent on her first Christmas after her divorce.

Betty used the "words" prompt and wrote an excellent story on an open house for Christmas

Jim Hunter wrote about "The best gift" and made a great case for family togetherness

Jim Haddad wrote about Ghost of Christmas past and the great Christmas decorations they used to put into store windows.  He ended it on a funny note about all you see now are manikins with only bras and panties.

I wrote a smartalec piece about the ghost of Christmas past drinking my Christmas spirit.

Mary wrote a nice piece about the best gift.

It would be fun if everyone typed them up and posted them on the blog (all I want for Christmas)

The stories that came from home were great.

Betty wrote an excellent tribute to her dad "Buddy"

Jim Hunter wrote a fun piece about a "Ronald Regan rose bush".

Jim Haddad wrote about his memories "Pearl Harbor" bombing as he listened to the radio that fateful morning.

I wrote a story about "Eddy" that seemed to be well received.  I put that up on my blog
"Taters, Maters, Words and Water" if anyone would like to read it.

Mary wrote a great piece on her first teaching assignment.  She is really beginning to blossom with her writing

Connie wrote a fun piece ranting about the butchering of "A Christmas Story" and a list of her favorite movies. 

Next week posts by LoRee so bring your funny shoes.  She needs material for her show.
